I. Consolidation & Program Formulation

One of the key foundations of green growth is to capacitate national and local decision makers with solid understanding and capacity of green growth and to equip them with the know-how of green growth tools and approaches.

 

Under the Green Growth Program, the National Institute of Public Administration (LAN) works closely with GGGI to integrate green growth in its basic and advanced trainings, as well as in high-level reform trainings for both local and national government officials.

Sectoral Support

The Green Growth Program promotes green investment in three priority sectors: sustainable energy, sustainable landscape and green infrastructure within Special Economic Zones (SEZs).

 

To support priority sectors as well as other sectors, the collaboration between LAN and GGGI under this program aims at improving the capacity of government institutions and civil servants in implementing green growth principles, concepts and approaches in order to attract more green investment.

 

Therefore, the LAN-GGGI cooperation sets forth to induce:

 

  1. Green growth commitment at all levels of the governments.
  2. Increased understanding of and competence in green economy policy formulation.
  3. Increased competence in integrating the green growth framework into government work programs.

Green growth curriculum

On September 14, 2017, the Kick-Off of the Competency Development System on Green Economic Growth for State Civil Apparatus was held at LAN Campus in Central Jakarta, marking the beginning of green growth curricula development.

 

 

Four sets of curricula and modules on Green Economic Growth training are targeted for:

 

  1. Higher positions of Echelon 1 and Echelon 2.
  2. Administrative positions of Echelon 3 and Echelon 4.
  3. Training of Trainers (ToT) modules for higher and administrative positions as derived from the first two modules.
  4. Strategic issues on green growth inserted into the Leadership Training and the Reform Leader Academy (RLA).

 

In addition, a distant learning method will also be conceptualized and piloted.

Tools Development

The Green Growth Program continuously develops and improves various green growth tools, methods, indicators, best practices, etc. to encourage green investment.

 

Extended Cost Benefit Analysis (eCBA)

 

Economic growth that achieves the three pillars of sustainable development—human development, economic progress and environmental protection—requires a balancing act, factoring in multi-dimensional variables. The Green Growth Program uses Extended Cost Benefit Analysis (eCBA) as a planning tool to help design policy interventions, encourage the use of green technologies and best practices, and ensure green growth outcomes of investment projects.

 

In particular, eCBA is a very useful quantitative tool to provide concrete monetary values attached to social and environmental externalities. These costs are often hidden and are not addressed in conventional cost benefit analysis. By filling the ‘quantitative gap’, policymakers are able to use eCBA to demonstrate that investing in green projects will yield economic and social benefits.

 

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

 

In the last two decades, the rate of environmental degradation in Indonesia has been increasing. The impacts do not only endanger people’s health and wellbeing but also threaten nature’s ability to recover and hinder sustainable utilization of natural resources.

 

Based on experience of implementing various environmental management instruments, primarily Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), it shows that although EIA is quite effective at the individual project level, this tool is not sufficient in providing overall solution to cumulative environmental impacts, indirect impacts and synergistic environmental impacts. The government now realizes that sustainable development efforts will be more effective if they focus on approaches at the macro/national level rather than at the limited project-level.

 

In the context of this strategic shift, the Green Growth Program emphasizes the importance of using Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as a tool to evaluate how far government policies, plans and programs—both national and sub-national—have considered and applied green growth principles. SEA is expected to anticipate cross-border and cross-sectoral environmental impacts. The program also encourages the integration of the Extended Cost Benefit Analysis (eCBA) in SEA, as one of the tools to measure financial viability and ensure sustainable development.
